steps up the tablet game and brings computing power and functionality to another level. The device that ushered in the post-PC era four years ago now seems well positioned to continue to put a dent in the PC market while continuing to dominate the tablet space.

I'm overly pleased on how fast the delivery was. I ordered it practically week of Christmas to get it for Christmas present and it came the day before . I was surprised and extremely happy that I got it before Christmas since it was a gift for my daughter.

Gave my wife an I-pad air-32gb for Christmas. She can't put it down. Retina gives best picture quality of all of them. It's fast, light, and as easy to operate as our iPhones. Great buy for the money. Shweta, Future Shop's own product expert gave me top notch, knowledgeable service.

Great device, bought this iPad as an alternative for my previous purchased Microsoft Surface RT. The device is much lighter, much faster and has way more pratical apps. No more Windows RT for me, looking forward to iOS8!

For a company that obsesses over making devices thinner and lighter, it must have been torture for Apple to spend nearly three years making a series of iPads that were better than their predecessors, but not smaller. Now it has.

Ten hours of battery life; twice as fast as fourth-generation iPad; light and thin

Still too big for long-term one-handed use; no Touch ID

Remember when the original iPad debuted in the hands of Steve Jobs, and he bold-facedly called it an incredibly thin and light device? Imagine what he'd say if he could see what his 9.7-inch roll-of-the-dice became just five short years later. Behold: the iPad Air. You've come a long way, baby.

Our hands-on impressions of Apple's next-generation iPad Air tablet computer

I bought the iPad Air because I was ready for an upgrade of my previous 64GB + 3G + wifi generation one iPad. I like that the iPad Air is so much lighter than the 1st gen iPad. It also has a faster processor chip which means game apps load faster.

Apple has unveiled the fifth generation model of it's full sized iPad and it gets a new name.

Many have criticized Apple for not drastically changing its devices over the years. The biggest change the line had was the introduction of the iPad Mini. Apple's iPad Air wants to innovate further without changing what makes the line so popular.
